Description

Today's episode features Jamé Jackson, Senior Beauty Editor at Verizon Media and Founder of internationally read fashion and beauty site, The BlondeMisfit. Jamé completed her BA in English Language and Literature, and Ancient/Classical Greek Language and Literature from Howard University. Her career as a beauty and fashion writer has spanned multiple publications including, FashionBombDaily, Time Inc, Yahoo Inc and Buzzfeed. When I interviewed Jamé late last year she was the Style & Beauty Writer at Buzzfeed, but has since gone on to even greater opportunities, currently as Senior Beauty Editor at Verizon Media and creator of the BlondeMisfit Podcast, where she explores blackness and its impact on the fashion and beauty landscape. Listen as we discuss how Jamé was able to create her own path into the beauty and fashion editorial world, despite not having the coveted, high profile internships and connections often necessary to gain entry into the industry. The seeds initially sown during her time at Howard University, Jamé details the necessity of telling stories that demonstrate the vastness of blackness in beauty and fashion, the power of ownership and creating your own platform, lessons she learned during her career journey in her early twenties, and how in the end, you'll end up exactly where you're supposed to be.
